Eyelid tuberculosis is a rare manifestation of cutaneous tuberculosis. Early diagnosis and antitubercular chemotherapy are crucial for effective treatment of this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Cutaneous tuberculosis (TB) is uncommon, with eyelid involvement being exceptionally rare.
  • The polymorphous clinical presentation of TB can delay diagnosis.
  • Standard treatment involves antitubercular drug chemotherapy.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of a child diagnosed with eyelid tuberculosis.
  • The case highlights challenges in diagnosis and management.
  • Discussion includes physiopathogeny, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.

Findings:

  • Eyelid tuberculosis presents with varied clinical signs, often leading to diagnostic delays.
  • Antitubercular chemotherapy is the established treatment modality.
